I could barely watch it because there is nothing in that movie that makes sense, yet is referenced as if it does.

Well… the nebulous idea of society decaying on its current trajectory is true, i think we’ll all agree (good thing we have time to course correct). As with most movies, the nebulous idea/the combined set of ideas presented is/are the most important consideration to viewers in general.

If we’re getting down to technical specifics, there are some things that don’t make sense, I’ll concede:

• If they don’t use water for stuff, there are innumerable things that shouldn’t work and everyone should have disease or st the very least be dying from some sort of malnutrition.
• How has society not collapsed if people are that stupid? Who sustains the vast agricultural systems and the water infrastructure that now supplies soda to everyone?
• The soda corporation is taking over america. For such devious plans, someone running the corporation must be smart. Why don’t they just fix everything? Or does President Terry Crews just execute anyone who proposes good ideas?
• All the judges being intellectually disabled doesn’t actually make sense, assuming they still maintain testing/career performance standards. Also makes it seem like all the intellectually disabled citizens gravitate towards that job. Also, isn’t everyone intellectually disabled in the movie? So when they say “all the judges are r-words” they’re actually saying they’re straight-up insane.

• this one is probably just a middle finger to modern day judges though. Lol.

• What about the rest of the world? (Outside of the scope of the movie tbf, but come on… the whole world is that stupid? Or just America? I know which one is my headcanon)

I love the powertrip element of the movie, great to watch when you fedl bad about yourself. “Yeah I just need to freeze myself and wake up in the future so i can be the smartest person on Earth.” But then i guess the moral is that you just need to apply yourself - protagonist, being perfectly average, was letting himself down by getting comfortable in that mediocrity.
